WHY THERE IS POVERTY IN THE PHILIPPINES
One answer to this question is lack of social mobility. In the Philippines, upper-class elites have far greater options than those in the lower classes. Another factor is religion: the dominant Catholic church encourages husbands and wives to have large families (more children than they can afford to feed and educate) and forbids the use of Birth Control. People in the lower classes are often mired in poverty as a result of no access to family planning.
Another factor is that in rural areas, many families lack electricity and their children attend schools where there are over-crowded classrooms, old books and no computers. Students who lack educational opportunities will not acquire the skills needed to move up in society or find a good job after graduating (assuming they graduate). And, in a country with poorly educated people, democracy will not work well: frauds and charlatans and corrupt leaders will be able to keep people from being able to improve their situation, while those who are wealthy will find ways to navigate the system and gain whatever benefits they can from it.
ANOTHER SUGGESTED ANSWER:
because there are so many people lived there, and united by the Philippines president.
Philippines is a MEDC. - More Economic Developed Country.Some people say that it is an LEDC, but they only say this because of the negative pictures they see from the Internet and mostly because of the eruption back in 1991, but they haven't really been to the Philippines.

Before you say anything about the Philippines, make sure that you have been there and you are right.Also, some people ask 'if it is an LEDC, where do they get their money from?'Most teachers in school say that, they get it from the Americans, but that is not true.Yes, it is true that some people are poor but doesn't mean that everyone is, there are lots of wealthy people in the Philippines as they have massive houses.For example, in England, they're poor and wealthy people but it doesn't mean it is an MEDC... because you have no idea how they can manage.. or whatever...Read more: Is_the_Philippines_a_MEDC_or_LEDC

It is because the Philippines had many invaders and every one of them brought new languages which the Filipino People had to adapt with... But speaking more accurately, it is because the Philippines has SO many tribes scattered all over the country that most people confuse one language with another...

That's far from reality because there are so many power thirsty people in the Philippines that's why they do what they can do get the power not bearing in mind the sake of the people.
The answer to this narrow minded question is that there are poor people and poverty throughout the world. This does not just occur in the Caribbean, so I recommend you go to the Caribbean and have stare at a great deal of the successful entrepreneurs residing in the Caribbean. And as the question why are many people in the world so poor? Thank you haha
